Of all the conditions that affect our horses, skin conditions are the most common. But how good are you at recognising different skin diseases? Do you know when to call the vet? And do you know how to prevent skin problems from starting in the first place?
Professor Derek Knottenbelt (Equine Medical Solutions/Liverpool Vet School) joined us talk about common skin conditions: how to recognise them, how to manage them, and how to prevent them.
Professor Knottenbelt was joined by our own Claire Gordon, World Horse Welfare’s Chief Field Officer. Claire has a wealth of experience managing horses with a range of skin conditions, from those that typically occur in neglected animals to those that affect even the best managed horses.
Professor Knottenbelt worked for many years at Liverpool Vet School, where he ran the renowned sarcoid referral service. He now manages Equine Medical Solutions, an online referral service that supports owners and vets in the management of skin diseases and cancer, including sarcoid. His experience in the management of sarcoids is unparalleled and he will be happy to answer your questions about this frustrating condition.
Watch the webinar to learn about skin disease from the vet’s perspective, and from the owner’s perspective, in the company of Derek Knottenbelt and Claire Gordon.

As a horse owner in the U.S., thank you for providing these informative and factual discussions on KZfaq. My vet was very helpful in helping me eradicate sweet itch that was troubling my mare, and it was not an expensive solution! So I agree, enlist the help of a professional before things get too bad.

I was a professional brewer for many years. "Spent grains" are a byproduct of the brewing process. These grains consist of mostly malted barley and occasionally some wheat. Prior to arriving at the brewery, barley is malted. This process consists of steeping the barley in warm water until it sprouts (enzymes are activated), then the barley is dried and the rootlet is knocked off. Just like sprouted grain bread has a higher nutritional value than regular bread, sprouted barley also would have a higher nutritional value. During the brewing process, much of the starch in the barley is converted to fermentable sugars in the mash, however in the spent grain byproduct, a considerable amount of sugar, protein, starch, fiber, and other nutrients still exist. I mention all this because a local farrier named Travis had a horse with 27 sarcoids that was completely sarcoid free after eating spent grains exclusively for two weeks. The horse also put on a little weight. I would encourage folks to try this out. Most small, local breweries would be happy to give you some spent grains. Fresh is best. Find out what days they are brewing and bring a couple clean 33 gallon trash cans with you to haul it away. Hopefully this will help others.
